The Beat Writer

The highlight of my athletic career was being the pitcher for the winning team in the freshman P.E. class' wiffle ball tournament. The great combination of being short and slow didn't deter my love for all things sports related. I've been a UK basketball fan since Kevin Grevey was shooting jump shots. I've been a diehard fan of the Atlanta Braves since the days of Darrell Evans, Marty Perez, Biff Pocoroba and Buzz Capra. Starting my newspaper career as a student at Murray State, I managed to turn my love of sports into a career. With more than 25 years of experience, including 16 years at The Gleaner, I decided to try my hand at the blogging world.

Like our coverage in The Gleaner, X-tra Points will still focus heavily on local sports in Henderson, Union and Webster counties. But I'll branch out into other sports news from around the region, state, nation that are of interest to our readers. I'll provide information and opinions that won't be in our print edition.
